NASA Provides Their Images for Public Access

Whether you teach science or are just fascinated by our amazing universe, you will enjoy these recently-released photos. NASA and Internet Archive (http://www.archive.org) are working together to provide access to NASA's images.

Their new site is located at http://nasaimages.org/index.html.

Most of the images at NASA Images are not copyrighted. (Read the details concerning using these images at http://nasaimages.org/Terms.html.)

Search for images by keyword or by timeline.

The image that I have posted--One Shepherd Moon--is from the NASA Cassini-Huygens Collection. This image shows the unlit side of Saturn’s rings. It also includes Pandora, the small shepherd moon.
